My brother took over the family farm after Dad passed away; farmed with used machinery until he retired. One of the BTO's came to my brother one day and asked what he was doing wrong (he bought all new machinery) because someone at the bank let it slip that my brother had more net worth than the BTO had. Needless to say, brother was upset with the banker after that incident.
My brother was a great one for making tandem hitches. He bought two used 6-row planters when they went out favor with the big farmers, made a tandem hitch and planted 12 rows at a time. He made a tandem hitch to pull two used field cultivators with. He bought large used tractors to get the HP he needed to pull the tandem equipment, but they were tractors that were not in vogue. He bought a 285 HP Versatile tractor real cheap; used it for years and after he retired sold it to our nephew, who is still running it. Nephew dumped his JD 4WD when he found it cost more to repair than it was worth. The old Versatile just keeps on going.
